Leather Wash Bag | JAKARTA

Yes: full grain cow leather, the top layer of the hide, with the small marks and veins that prove it had a life before your bathroom shelf. We back it with our 2-year warranty.

More than you would guess. Two main compartments with slit and zippered interior pockets sort brushes from bottles, and the exterior zippered pocket takes what you reach for first. At 25 cm long, it swallows one traveller's full kit.

It is leather, so let us be precise. The full grain hide handles splashes, steam and a damp counter without trouble: wipe it dry after the morning rush and it will not complain. Soaking is another matter, so keep it out of the shower itself.

That is its job. The box shape and zipper closure hold their line inside a packed bag, and at 0.37kg it adds almost nothing to what you carry. Sturdy sides mean your kit comes out the way it went in.

It has no gender on the label and needs none. The lines are sober, vintage and quiet: the JAKARTA sits as naturally next to a razor as next to a makeup kit.

When one bag has to serve the whole family: 4L is a deliberate size, everything for one person and nothing more. If your kit runs larger, or you simply want another cut, the PETRA leather toiletry bag comes from the same bench.

Not much is asked. Wipe it with a soft cloth after damp mornings and let it dry away from direct heat. Over time the leather darkens and takes a patina where you grab it: that is the material keeping score, not wearing out.
